“They need me, they need guys and they’ve got to change their program,” Williams said. “And they’ll try to help me with my future also. I think I’ll fit their scheme well. Coach (Travaris) Robinson is the defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator and I know he’s going to put in a great scheme and allow defensive backs to make plays.”

South Carolina last hosted him for a visit in the spring. Alabama, Georgia and Clemson also scored visits earlier this summer.

Since then, the Gamecocks have added 2017 commitments from two cornerbacks and a safety, all of whom are rated as 3-star prospects.

Williams, who recently transferred to Grayson from Archer High School (Lawrenceville, Ga.), is listed at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds. Among 2017 prospects in the state of Georgia, he’s ranked No. 6 overall. Nationally, his ranking is No. 52 overall.

A couple of factors will be weighed as he approaches a final decision, which has no specific timeline.

“Just the relationship I have with the coaches,” Williams said. “How well they gel with my family. And the academic program is the most important thing.”
